So, 3D World is not moving consoles

3DS won't reach 20m this year 17 16.67%
 
3DWorld is forecasted to desapear 8 7.84%
 
Galaxy 3 will save the U 22 21.57%
 
Nothing stops this train 54 52.94%
 
Total:101

It's doing OK and it's a great game. It could have used a better name. But the problem is the Wii U itself.

At this point, they should bite the bullet , cut the price of deluxe by $50 ($249.99) for when Mario Kart releases and bundle the shit out of it. Also, do a relaunch (at E3) and re-brand the system as Wii 2 (try and slim the console down a bit so it looks different from the current model). I seriously believe that would help sales but of course Nintendo will never do that.

What is your problem with 3DW?  I think I've seen you make more threads about it being a flop than everyone else on this site combined, why do you feel like you have to keep saying it didn't move a lot of consoles

It's not and it wasn't moving consoles, yet some pretend it was. I want just to confirm is not doing its work.

3DWorld not in the top 10 software chart Dec NP.

So much for the Wii U savior.

Did you expect 3DWorld, a game released just on the Wii U, to be in a list of all multiplats?

Yes? At the bottom, but yes.

I might been living under a rock. I always knew the Wii U wasnt doing that great but after looking at the numbers they are doing really bad. The only thing that can help them now is Pokemon and Monster hunter for the Wii U. But that maybe just a temporary solution.

That didn't help the 3DS. That won't help the Wii U.

Wii U forecast down to 2.8m

Wii U Dec NPD numbers 480k

3DWorld not in the top 10 software chart Dec NPD

3DWorld not mentioned in the Nintendo results PR

And last but not least, from a profit forecast down to loss forecast

Outside from a decent performance in Japan, everywhere else is not doing its "Mario work".

 

So much for the Wii U savior.


How come if you hate Nintendo so much (to have posted such a thread), you have Link in your avatar and sig?

But it has sold 1.6 million copies worldwide so far. It may not have sold too many copies, but it was bought by a lot of people who already owned Wii U.


Are those official numbers released by Nintendo?

Official numbers haven't been released - they'll be coming tomorrow, most likely, in the Supplementary Information pdf (same one that usually lists upcoming games, recent releases, etc).

But here's the thing - you've used the 480k Wii U in US claim, which is based on rumour from NPD. The only thing we know right now is that December 2013 for Wii U was better than in any previous month in the US (including both November 2012 and December 2012). This was revealed by one of NPD's own analysts. The only upper limit to the number, at this point in time, is 908k, which is how much the Xbox One sold in December (NPD have stated the Xbox One had highest sales for home consoles). People claiming 480k are basing it on NPD's December 2012 number for Wii U, which was "over 460k", and the fact that they've said it's above that number.

I don't expect to be above 500k if the must have didn't even charted. Or, why would people buy a console without games?

Have you considered that he might not hate Nintendo? 

Criticism doesn't equal hate.

True, but have you read his post? he could have written it as a constructive criticism, but the way he posted surely denotes hatred.
But hey, if I am misjudging his approach, my apologies

I explained in a previous thread 3DWorld was not moving consoles. Yet, some was calling it just hate.

It's not hate. I have the Wii U and almost finished 3DWorld. But it's not moving consoles and proof has been released now.
